We've had a few nights of rain here in LA, so I put my recorder out to grab a solid take of rain hitting the patio umbrella in our backyard.

I just grabbed the Rode NTG5 and took it for a spin recording me shaking all the salt & pepper in my pantry (and even some panko and bay leaves cause I was feelin' wild).

I went around my house and recorded a bunch of clicking sounds from whatever items I had lying around and got a good number of samples from it.
